Thanks for the rep Snap, your solitary rep (the only one I have recieved so far) gave me two rep points if that helps your research at all. Two thoughts regarding your observations, good catch on the neg rep/minnimum rep possibility, and whenever I used the term rep weight or rep weighting, I meant that the person giving rep would give more rep based on that particular factor. For example, rep weighting for you vs. me, if we both rep the same person, I think you will give them more points due to the following factors, 1 your current rep (higher than mine), 2 your post count (higher than mine), 3 your join date (earlier than mine). Hence if I give rep, the recipient recieves 1 rep point, where as if you give rep, the recipient racks up a walloping 2 points. If we throw Mr. Tool into the equation I believe he would give out more rep than you based on all the previously mentioned factors AND based on his status as a forum mod. So Tool = 3...or more. I will start a rep log and see what I can come up with...now if I ever manage to have an idea that is bright enough to be rep worthy we are in business.
